Hydrolysis of amides RC(O)N(R1)R2 (R = Me, cyclohexyl, Ph, Bn, furan-2-yl, etc.; R1 = H, Me, Et, OMe; R2 = H, Me, Et, Ph, Bn) to carboxylic acids RC(O)OH is an industrially important reaction but is challenging due to the difficulty of cleaving the resonance stabilized amidic C-N bond. Twenty-three heterogeneous and homogenous catalysts were examined in the hydrolysis of acetamide. Results showed that Nb2O5 was the most effective heterogeneous catalyst with the greatest yield of acetic acid. A series of Nb2O5 catalysts calcined at various temperatures were characterized and tested in the hydrolysis of acetamide to determine the effects of crystal phase and surface properties of Nb2O5 on catalytic performance. The high catalytic performance observed was attributed mainly to the facile activation of the carbonyl bond by Lewis acid sites that function even in the presence of basic inhibitors (NH3 and H2O). The catalytic studies showed the synthetic advantages of the present method, such as simple operation, catalyst recyclability, additive free, solvent-free, and wide substrate scope (>40 examples; up to 95% isolated yield). In the experimental materials used by the author, we found N-Methoxy-N-methylacetamide(cas: 78191-00-1Reference of N-Methoxy-N-methylacetamide)
N-Methoxy-N-methylacetamide(cas: 78191-00-1) belongs to anime. Halogenation, in which one or more hydrogen atoms of an amine is replaced by a halogen atom, occurs with chlorine, bromine, and iodine, as well as with some other reagents, notably hypochlorous acid (HClO). With primary amines the reaction proceeds in two stages, producing N-chloro- and N,N-dichloro-amines, RNHCl and RNCl2, respectively. With tertiary amines, an alkyl group may be displaced by a halogen.Reference of N-Methoxy-N-methylacetamide
